Technical Summary
 
  This document describes an updated version of the Encapsulating
  Security Payload (ESP) protocol, which is designed to provide a mix
  of security services in IPv4 and IPv6.  ESP is used to provide
  confidentiality, data origin authentication, connectionless integrity,
  an anti-replay service (a form of partial sequence integrity), and
  limited traffic flow confidentiality.  This document obsoletes
  RFC 2406, published in November 1998.
